Sunderland captain John O’Shea played the full 90 minutes as Ireland took a valuable point away in Serbia.

The 35-year-old missed out on the Southampton game due to a hip problem, but came through the match for his country unscathed to hand manager David Moyes some positive news ahead of Monday night’s televised game at home to Everton.

Meanwhile, winger Wahbi Khazri played a starring role for Tunisia as his fifth-minute strike set Tunisia on their way to a 4-1 win over Liberia.

The win sealed their qualification to the 2017 African Cup of Nations and the 25-year-old, who has been an unused substitute for Sunderland’s last two Premier League games, will hope his performance can force his way back into manager David Moyes’ plans.

In the African Cup of Nations Qualifiers, Lamine Kone played a full 90 minutes in the Ivory Coast’s 0-0 draw, with Sierra Leone while new record signing, Didier Ndong, helped Gabon to a 2-1 win away in Sudan.

Northern Ireland’s Paddy McNair played 90 minutes in his side’s 0-0 draw with Czech Republic, with the 21-year-old having a decent effort blocked by Czech stopper Tomas Vaclik.

Away from senior level, 17-year-old striker Joel Asoro was watched by a number of top European Clubs, as he made his debut for Sweden’s under-21’s in their 1-1 draw with Spain Under-21’s.

Looking ahead to tonight, Patrick van Aanholt will look to win his seventh cap for the Netherlands as they travel to Sweden, while both Duncan Watmore and Donald Love are set to be in under-21 action for England and Scotland respectively.
